The Jet boat ride was a blast! Captain Jake was awesome and gave us a thrilling ride. My only critique is that we had a hard time finding the place. Had to ask for directions twice and walked around for 30 minutes looking for them. This is our second Trip Advisor trip where the directions were wrong. Trip Advisor needs to make sure they are publishing the correct information. Very frustrating!

I do not recommend I passed this boat in Arraial do Cabo RJ. I went to pay for my consumption, I was charged more than I actually consumed, and when I went to talk to the boy who was making the receipt, he was super uneducated and rude.

Such a great experience for the family! Toby our driver was very informative of local sights, very funny and a great hair and lash technician! Girls at reception were great when we got lost.. Would highly recommend these guys when coming to the GC!

The entire Jet Boat Extreme experience was absolutely amazing! Jake was incredibly confident and made everyone feel comfortable from start to finish. He constantly checked in to ensure everyone was at ease and happily accommodated anyone who needed it. Jake was friendly, engaging, and made the whole ride so much fun with his fantastic energy. If you’re heading to the Gold Coast, definitely ask for Jake to be your driver. You will not regret it! He even gave me a special birthday shout out on the video, which was so thoughtful! I have been on many jet boat rides before, but I have never come across a crew quite like the team at Jet Boat Extreme.
